Chapter 175: Today's long tassel is in hand, when will you tie up the dragon!
Wow, wow→ wow↑Wow← Wow↓
In the venue that had fallen silent, a burst of music suddenly sounded.
It was Ike's theme song "Ekko, the boy who shattered time".
On the big screen, it was Jay Chou who was sitting in front of the piano and pressing notes.
In the music, one after another League of Legends-related player commentaries and ordinary players appear on the screen.
This is a clip recorded before the game.
"League of Legends has changed my life for me."
His Holiness Plzeň said.
"League of Legends has allowed me to be closer to the people I love for me, and now we're married."
This is a Hispanic player.
"Every S race is always exciting."
LZ team ADC, the eliminated pray said softly.
All the contestants who fell before the finals, their images flashed quickly.
This S competition is probably the most humane.
Even if they have been eliminated, they will still appear in the final finals.
From the shy Pilson, to the smiling Uzi, to the grinning Night, to the quiet Ann Boss.
One after another, the contestants who have been eliminated all appeared in front of all the audience.
And at the end of this clip, there are two pairs.
KKOMA with Lee Sang-hyuk.
Abu and Xu Yuan.
As the sound of the piano gradually stopped, the big screen moved to Jay Chou, who had already gotten up and walked to the center of the stage.
At this time, he was meticulously bandaging his wrists.
The next moment, the passionate and dynamic music sounded!
Jay Chou showed a smile and suddenly raised the microphone to the sky.
The beat of the drums became more and more urgent, like a strong wind sweeping by.
At the moment of pause, Jay Chou brought the microphone to his mouth, and his crisp voice sounded.
"In the northeast and east with Dunhuang as the center, the coastline of this nation is like a bow!"
In an instant, the audience became popular.
"! Didn't you say that it was the hero's? How did you change to Dragon Fist? ”
"I heard that before the finals, the person in charge of the LPL specifically asked the player's opinion and replaced the hero with Dragon Fist, I have to say, it's easy to change!"
"Isn't this more burning than a hero? The hero is a little pulled. ”
On the stage, Jay Chou sang around the stage.
"What is written in the southward wind of the Mongolian Plateau, whether you understand the Chinese characters or not, the same skin color and face!"
He jerked forward.
"Crossing the Yellow River—"
He stretched out the microphone in his hand.
"East!"
The audience has basically heard this song.
Because this song is considered a relatively leading song in all his works, it can be fully matched.
When he pointed to the audience, he also sang along.
"Climb to the top of Tarzan—"
"Peak!"
The roars of the audience rang out.
"I will go west, and lead the north wind!"
"Bronzed!"
Jay Chou walked to the center of the stage and squatted down simply and started the most climactic rap.
"Longing for infinite blood connection, thousands of brothers, I will tear down the heavens and the earth and hollow out the water of the Yangtze River——"
"Man is in the transformation of the ancient riverbed!"
He stood up abruptly, stretched out his right fist and struggled to raise it.
The next moment the climax is repeated.
"My right fist opened the sky and turned into a dragon!"
The atmosphere of the audience suddenly burned!
Unlike the original S7 finals, this time the enthusiasm of the audience was obviously higher.
Quite simply, because this final is not a Korean civil war!
So many of the people who came to the scene to support were iron-blooded LPL fans.
At this time, Xu Yuan was already standing at the back of the stage, ready to start on stage.
"This song is much better than the hero."
He made such an assessment.
The song is over, and the heat is over.
At this time, Jay Chou did not step down, but walked to the piano again and pressed another note.
The second song is coming!
This is, S7's S Race theme song, "legends never die".
Sung by American pop-rock band, Against The Current.
At this time, with bursts of music gradually falling, the female lead singer has walked to the center of the stage.
“Legends never die when the world is calling you~”
Legends never go out, and the world needs you.
She held the microphone in both hands and sang softly.
Everyone has a different perception of this song.
From EDG's standpoint, Ming Kai is already a legend.
After chasing the championship for so many years and so many failures, it still didn't make him give up.
And from SKT's standpoint?
It's simpler.
Lee Sang-hyuk is that legend!
“Can you hear them screaming out your name?”
Can you hear them calling your name?
Accompanied by the soft chant of the female lead singer, Xu Yuan looked solemn.
yes, I heard you.
At this time, in the cheers of the audience, there was his ID, Savior.
“Legends never die~they become a part of you”
The legend never goes out...... It's part of your life!
“Every time you bleed for reaching greatness”
In order to achieve greatness, you have blood on the battlefield.
“relentless you survive!”
Unyielding survival!
The rhythm changes abruptly, and the sense of epic momentum suddenly rises.
“They never lose hope!”
“when everything's cold and the fighting's near!”
At present, the enemy is embattled, and they still have hope.
Xu Yuan listened quietly, looking at the bright morning stars in the sky.
EDG is the last hope in the lyrics!
“It's deep in their bones, they'll run into smoke when the fire is fierce!”
This moment is in their souls, and even if the flames dance wildly, they will charge forward!
There is no retreat to speak of, there is only one winner today!
“Oh pick yourself up 'cause——”
Cheer up, because ......
“Legends never die!”
“when the world is calling you”
Legends never go out, the world needs you!
“Can you hear them screaming out your name?”
Can you hear them calling your name?
“Legends never die they become a part of you。”
The legend never goes out, it's in your life
Every time you bleed for reaching greatness
In order to achieve greatness, you have blood on the battlefield!
“Legends never die!”
Legend, never extinguished!
"No matter how many times I listen to it, it always feels like this song was made for Faker."
Ming Kai opened his mouth with some emotion.
A legend never goes out, and it has to be a legend.
Among today's League of Legends professional players, Lee Sang-hyuk should be the only one worthy of the word legend, right?
"Brother Kai, you are also a legend."
Xu Yuan turned around lightly and said with a smile.
Ming Kai shook his head with a smile,
"Is it a legend who has been losing to the quarterfinals?"
Xu Yuan blinked and smiled.
"It's just a win this time."
Ming Kai was stunned, and his face rose.
“…… Then we'll talk about it when we win. ”
Although the words seem to be very unconfident, in fact, Ming Kai is quite confident.
Because they are all three to zero when playing SSG!
Why are you afraid of SKT?
In such a short period of time, even if KKOMA catches the final answer of the version, there is no time left to practice.
At the moment when the second climax was approaching, the camera in the live broadcast room moved up sharply!
Xu Yuan's eyes flashed, revealing an expectant expression.
"It's coming!"
The next moment, an ancient dragon with a blue and black color scheme soared into the sky!
It was covered in black-brown armor and roared as it slammed into the sky.
The body has entered a state of swooping!
Enter, Bird's Nest!
"What's that?"
"! it! it! Ancient Dragon?! ”
"!!"
"That's handsome!!"
Barrage, exploding in an instant.
No one expected that this year's opening ceremony would be so exciting!
As the camera moved, the ancient dragon circled the arena and soared above the audience.
Some curious viewers even stood up and tried to touch the mighty and domineering ancient dragon on the screen!
It flew to the center of the stage and suddenly let out a blood-boiling dragon roar!
Two huge wings spread out, covering the sky and the sun!
"It's our turn."
The staff in front had already sent a signal, and Xu Yuan raised his hand and smiled.
On the other side, SKT also passed through the other road and began to appear on the stage on the other side!
At this time, Ren Dong, the host of this year's finals, has already walked quickly to the scene.
He is wearing a dark red suit today, low-key and restrained at the same time, but also atmospheric.
"Here's it, Chinese BJ!"
"Welcome to the 2017 League of Legends World Championship!"
"Summoners on the scene, show your enthusiasm!"
He took a deep breath,
"Let's welcome, team!"
Above the stage on both sides, the contestants are all in place!
The next moment, accompanied by Ren Dong's voice, EDG and SKT entered at the same time!
"The two teams that came to this finals are the EDG team and the SKT team!"
"Shout, welcome them!!"
Xu Yuan stood in the queue of EDG, and walked forward briskly from the path formed by the singer's dance partner just now.
At this time, the audience resounded with deafening cheers and shouts.
With EDG to be able to support it, it is destined that this Bird's Nest must be more enthusiastic than the original one!
"First of all, let's welcome the team from our LPL, EDG!"
The first team to be introduced was EDG, which is also normal.
After all, SKT was last year's champion team, so can't the champion be introduced in front of EDG, right?
"Summer Singles King from EDG, Smeb!"
Smeb's face was a little shy, although it was not the first time he had walked to the final stage, but this kind of big stage was always a little shy.
After hearing the introduction, he smiled implicitly and waved his hand.
And the audience in the audience naturally gave him the support he deserved, and the cheers were endless.
"A veteran jungler who has been in the arena for many years, Clearlove!"
Ming Kai's eyes were slightly red, and he tried to laugh and wave to the audience.
"Come on!! This is really the last chance!! ”
"Ming Kai!! Ming Kai!! Ming Kai!! ”
"Factory !!!!!"
The introduction of the contestants soon came to Xu Yuan.
"Less than a year after his debut, the new generation of super AD, Savior, who has reached the finals and aims to chase the championship!"
This introductory word was sent to Ren Dong by Teng Jing.
For Xu Yuan, the current person in charge of Tengjing is in a state where the well water does not interfere with the river water.
The respect that should be given is enough, you play a good career, and I will do a good job in operation.
So this introduction is neither overly exaggerated, but it also does not deliberately belittle Xu Yuan.
The handsome teenager showed a bright smile and turned abruptly under the camera, pointing his right hand at the ID of [Savior] behind him, leaving the audience with a confident side face.
Suddenly, the cheers rose a notch again!
This is Xu Yuan's popularity today!
In the current LPL, it is difficult to say that no one likes him.
It is a very scary thing for a player who has debuted less than a year ago to be able to beat the match gap in the S competition.
What's even more terrifying is that this person doesn't seem to have any weaknesses!
There wasn't even any lace news.
Absolute Super AD!
Of course, whether it is the world's No. 1 AD or not, it still has to wait until this one is finished.
"Abyss !!!"
"Yuanshen is so confident today!! The god of the deep god will kill me hard!! ”
Seeing Xu Yuan's confident movements, the barrage naturally became more confident.
It's the same for whoever comes in.
Before the game, the players showed full confidence, at least it was better than being full of dead face and not saying a word.
When the SKT team was introduced, the audience cheered loudly.
Respecting the opponent is respecting yourself, and SKT must still respect it when it reaches the final.
And like Heo Yuan's treatment, when Lee Sang-hyuk was introduced, it was also full of cheers.
A champion midlaner who has won three championships deserves this cheer.
When the introduction of the contestants ended, Xu Yuan followed his teammates to the exclusive room of the competition.
Before the game, the coin toss, it was kkoma who won.
This coin toss is actually quite interesting, because the coaches of both teams are basically mildew.
KKOMA didn't win much in the first round of the coin toss in the group stage, and Abu was about the same.
In the final showdown between the two mildews, in the end, it was Abu who was more mildewy and failed to win the right to choose a side.
"Why am I so unlucky?"
Even when he walked to the room where he was playing, Abu was still puzzled.
But then he was relieved.
Perhaps this is the consequence of good luck recruiting Savior, luck is conserved.
This time, the exclusive room for the finals was specially built, and you can see the field below from the room, but you can never see the screen.
In addition, the soundproofing room is specially set up and the top soundproofing materials are used to ensure the fairness of the game.
After all, although it is said that there is white noise.
But under normal circumstances, if the sound is loud enough, the players can still hear a little bit of the sound from the audience.
This time, it is clear that there is no such thing, and the top-of-the-line soundproof rooms are designed to ensure absolute fairness.
And just as they were debugging the peripherals, the big screen on the scene suddenly went black.
The audience was in high spirits.
Those who are familiar with the process of the finals know.
Next...... It's the anticipation of pre-match interviews and trash talk.
"They were last year's champion team and they are a very strong opponent."
"No matter how backward they are in the early stage, they can turn the tables because they are SKT."
The first to appear in the camera is Scout, who is standing in a maple forest and staring at the camera calmly.
"We lost to EDG at MSI and we lost to EDG at the continental level, and those two games have given us a lot of growth."
"And now, we're on the opposite side of EDG again."
"This time, we're going to take revenge on them!"
In the shot, Lee Sang-hyuk pushed his glasses and looked ahead.
He doesn't shy away from those past failures, because he feels that he will win today.
This is Lee Sang-hyuk, this is him in the final!
There is only self-confidence in yourself.
"We are the only Treble club in the world!"
"We are the last hope of the LCK!"
"We are SKT who will never admit defeat in adversity, and we are the absolute kings who are about to win the game and build a dynasty!"
SKT's assistant wolf followed, shaking his sleeve and slapping off the non-existent dust on the dazzling SKT crest.
He's a crazy guy.
It always has been.
Although he may giggle in private, Wolf after taking the stage is an absolute iron-blooded wolf!
"We've broken through ourselves, we've beaten SKT twice this year, and naturally there will be a third as well."
"The new legend will be called EDG."
In the face of wolf's wild words, EDG's assistant meiko did not show the slightest weakness, and responded with the same domineering.
"Handsome! meiko! ”
"I didn't expect the lotus man, who has always been a white lotus, to have such a hard day, it's a bit different."
"Definitely! We've both won you twice, what are you afraid of? How many times do you have to win before you admit defeat? ”
And the trash talk on the screen continues.
"Smeb is a strong top laner, but I can't give up my desire for a championship."
"I dominate the LCK on the new era, and the old players in the old era should honestly give up the stage!"
The one who said this was Huni with a serious face.
His meaning is simple:
Lao Deng, it's not your time now!
Compared with Smeb's age and career, huni is indeed the top order of the new generation.
It's quite domineering to say this, but it's a pity that the audience doesn't agree with it.
"Pulled!"
"Sure enough, I still don't dare to say that I can definitely win, Huni doesn't have much confidence!"
"It's normal, he was beaten by Smeb as a dog in the LCK before, and I remember that Smeb seemed to be the single kill king of the LCK in this spring."
"Huni's words are too shameless, obviously you can't beat Smeb in the spring game, and you can't beat khan and marin in the summer game, but it's embarrassing to say that the LCK's road is now dominated by him, which is really not ashamed!"
The corners of Khan's mouth, who was watching the game in the audience, twitched.
Too dominant, too dominant, too dominant!
But Huni clearly didn't care.
I can't beat it, but I Huni asked where Khan is now, right?
He's not here, I'm here!
Say it's okay to rule the LCK's road, right?
What, you say Smeb?
He's not in the LCK anymore!
In the current LCK, I am indeed the only one.
Steamed buns, aren't you blessed?
And then Smeb's response didn't mention huni at all.
"SKT is a team that I remember for me."
"They smashed my former team ROX in the semifinals that year."
"I've always had that in mind."
“Faker,Bang。”
"If there's one person who can beat you, I'm sure it will be me."
"I've waited too long for today."
"Today I will bloody SKT to avenge the ROX of the past."
"I'm not here to prove anything, I'm just trying to bring down the dignity that you once knocked out. Get it back! ”
Smeb's face was serious and cold, and he slowly clenched his fists at the camera.
He didn't mention Huni the whole time.
Because he is not worthy.
Smeb is also a very proud top laner, and Huni is not recognized by him.
Who would approve of a person who blows up the handle by himself?
In the player's room at this time.
Huni, who was waiting for the game to start, naturally saw this scene through the live broadcast room on the computer.
The referee behind him did not interfere with his behavior, after all, BP has not started yet, and the player can do anything.
Even if you go up to the next QQ music and listen to it.
Of course, you can't make this mess when the game starts.
"Assi...... This guy is really infuriating. ”
He couldn't help but curse.
What is more destabilizing than the opponent's provocation?
It's too lazy to mention you!
Obviously, Smeb's disregard for huni is very accurate to huni's pain point.
"Clearlove, a very experienced jungler, I've played against him a few times and I've made a good impression."
"But for the championship, I'm bound to win."
"You have reasons why you can't fail, and I have too."
Next up on the screen is the little peanut.
At this time, Little Peanut followed Lee Sang-hyuk and walked to the opposite side of the assembled EDG team members for a confrontation.
"Smeb, I can understand your regrets, but life is always like this, instead of standing still, I choose to go farther away."
"Old friend, this time I'll win."
His voice was very calm.
Little Peanut also misses that time at ROX though.
But he has a very deep affection for every team he has been with.
Even the year he went to LGD to play, he still remembers it vividly.
It's the same at SKT.
Because of his good personality, he can make friends everywhere.
Being able to not be bound by the memories of the past is a little peanut.
He cherishes those memories, but he values the present more than anything else.
And at the end of the trash talk, it was naturally the ADCs on both sides who spoke.
"Savior is undoubtedly a very good AD player, he used to play in a similar way to me, but now he's out of his own way."
"I'm looking forward to today's showdown, and I'd love to beat you."
"No matter what the result is today, you will always be the best and strongest LPL No. 1 ADC in my heart, there is no doubt about that."
"I'll prove to you the superiority of the LCK region."
"If I win this matchup, I hope you can come to SKT next year."
Bang didn't belittle Xu Yuan at all, let alone mock it.
He felt in his heart that Xu Yuan was really good and powerful.
So even if it was trash talk before the game, he also recognized Xu Yuan.
even invited Xu Yuan directly in trash talk.
This kind of talk......
Any SKT player who says it is disrespectful to his teammates.
Only his own ADC said that it was a pure recognition of Xu Yuan.
At this time, the Korean audience didn't think there was anything wrong.
The main reason is that bang had already tweeted before the S match, and he would choose to leave SKT after this World Championship no matter what the result is.
I haven't figured out where I'm going to go yet, but I'm definitely not in the LCK.
So even SKT fans can't say anything.
People have helped you win two championships, and now you feel too tired to fight and want to leave, you can't force you to stay, right?
Bang is really worthy of SKT.
And what Bang said at this moment made SKT fans feel good.
Well?
Savior…… Coming to SKT?
“! I don't even think much of it! ”
"Such a strong AD is indeed worthy of taking over the position of a bang player!"
“? kkkkkk, it really feels amazing! ”
In the live broadcast room of the mouse station, SKT fans spoke one after another.
They thought about it and thought it was okay!
The main reason is that Xu Yuan's performance this year is really amazing.
111, is the big brother really coming?
However, fans of other teams who were not used to watching SKT naturally began to attack them.
"kkkkkk, Lee Sang-hyuk himself is a wild seed who has lost his mother, and now SKT is going to ask for Chinese reinforcement again?"
"kkk, it's really a veritable hybrid team, a real wild team!"
"SKT is like this, reaching the finals is LCT, and if you lose, you can't do LCK this year, Assi, then I'd rather support EDG!"
"EDG cheer me on! SKT hard! ”
Don't underestimate the aggressiveness of Korean netizens.
Being able to find opportunities offline to really kill solo players, you can imagine how frightening they are.
In fact, many LPL viewers scolded Lee Sang-hyuk, which was compared with what Korean audiences scolded Lee Sang-hyuk......
It's completely painless.
It's more real on their side.
Open and closed-mouthed wild seeds are considered light.
So at this moment, many fans of the team who hate SKT have unanimously supported EDG.
It doesn't matter to them who wins the championship.
SKT get out of here, this is very important!
They must oppose everything that SKT supports, and they must welcome everything that SKT boycotts.
This is the magic of the Korean division.
Of course, if there is only one SKT left in the division, as it is now.
Then if SKT wins, LCK still wins.
What LCT? Haven't heard of it!
Don't spoil our clan feelings!
The three-dimensional defense is directly full.
As for losing? Lose and be expelled from the LCK directly.
And at the end of the promotional video in the competition area, it was naturally Xu Yuan.
On the camera, a handsome young man wearing an EDG team uniform stares at the SKT players in front of him.
The compositional techniques chosen by Riot photographers at this time were very ingenious.
Although one is a mid laner and one is AD.
But under his excellent lens language, it seems that Heo Yuan is confronting Lee Sang-hyuk.
"In 2013, a player named Faker became a midlaner, and League of Legends entered a whole new era."
"In 2017, I became a pro."
"And so a new era is coming."
"We've been losing in the division, we've always been underdogs."
"But because I lost too much, I have nothing to fear."
"All human suffering is essentially anger at one's own incompetence, which was experienced by the LPL in the past."
"Now, I am about to stand on the stage of the S Finals, and I will be like my IDSavior, bringing that hope to the LPL."
"Because I'm Savior, we can win as a matter of course."
He said so confident, and so bland,
That kind of self-confidence from the heart made the LPL audience's original mood calm down a little.
Immediately after that, it is the love for him from the heart!
This is the future of our LPL!
If they can't win the championship this year, they also believe that Savior will be able to do it next year.
A player with such a belief will definitely lose vigorously even if he loses!
He said that he wanted to bring hope to the LPL, but in fact, everyone felt that it was already a great hope to reach the finals.
However, he is not satisfied!
Xu Yuan on the screen took a step forward.
looked at Lee Sang-hyuk, who had also taken a step forward.
"SKT's dream of building a dynasty will eventually be shattered by me, and the glory of EDG has been held in my hands."
The handsome young man's eyes were calm and sharp.
"Today's long tassel is in hand......"
In the voiceover, the young man said the last sentence in a categorical voice.
"I'm going to tie my hands to the dragon!"
With the long tassel in his hand, when will he tie up the dragon?
Right now, today!
Many people say that SKT has won three consecutive championships is already destiny.
At this time, Xu Yuan entered the competition room.
Look at the ID on the other side.
His face was calm.
"Unfortunately, I never believed only in ...... Man will conquer the heavens. ”
[Don't worry, two BO5 finishes. 】
